RAF-issued '53 Omega 6B/542 "Thin Arrow"
~37mm stainless steel case with fixed lugs, in excellent condition
Omega caliber 283 working as is should and keeping good time
Serial #12,997,427, correct range for these watches
"Thin Arrow" correct & unrestored radium dial
Has movement cover and retaining ring, which are often missing
Last serviced in 2018

Overall, this one is a great example, among the best I've ever seen, all correct and in top condition. These are difficult to price given scarcity of the original radium dial version, as most were later replaced by the MOD, please do your own research and comparisons.

Asking USD$9500 shipped within the USA, outside to be discussed.
Payment via bank wire only, no returns.
Please message me with any questions.

Happy to provide more if you want something specific.
Movement photos were taken during the last service.

Darlinboy is an excellent seller!

I have been collecting/trading/buying watches for years and belong to many watch forums. With that being said, Paul AKA Darlinboy is top shelf. Packaging, description, shipping... Perfect. He is also a pleasure to talk to on the phone. Thanks again Paul! !

Darlinboy is a terrific seller and a true gentleman

I bought back from Darlinboy a watch I had sold him a few years ago. He made the transaction pleasant and easy. I can recommend doing business with Paul with no hesitation.

	Established:	1848
	Website:	https://www.omegawatches.com/
	Country of Origin:	Switzerland

Founded at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1848 by 23-year-old Louis Brandt who assembled key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen. He travelled throughout Europe selling his watches from Italy to Scandinavia by way of England, his chief market. After Louis Brandt's death in 1879, his two sons Louis-Paul and Cesar, troubled by irregular deliveries of questionable quality, abandoned the unsatisfactory assembly workshop system in favour of in-house manufacturing and total production control. Due to the greater supply of manpower, communications and energy in Bienne, the enterprise moved into a small factory in January 1880, then bought the entire building in December. Two years later the company moved into a converted spinning-factory in the Gurzelen district of Bienne, where headquarters are still situated today. Their first series-produced calibres, Labrador and Gurzelen, as well as, the famous Omega calibre of 1894, would ensure the brand's marketing success.
